[2.2] Blink / Mirror Arrow Summoner - Saboteur

added Atziri video in gameplay section

This build was made for [SC], but it should work fine in HC as well you can go for more defence if u like!

The basic idea wasn't mine - i can't tell who was first so credits to who ever made it first (:.

English isnt my first language so please be gentle :).

Blink / Mirror Arrow are minions they dont scale with any damage but minions related ones!
They do scale with damage provided by our bow And quiver! So we aim for minion passives and duration nodes on the tree as well as aura nodes to support our minions!
[keep in mind the tooltip dmg of mirror/blink arrow is not the damage the clones do!]


Im sure some people will bring this up, we can't use sunblast + 2 Jewels to replace Saboteur, because we do have +90% Skill effect Duration so Traps wont trigger instant anymore with this combination!




Gear and Explanation


Since i'm using Elemental Equilibrium avoid all Elemental Damage on Items but Cold damage!
You don't need to have Cold damage on your gear if you are using a physical bow because ice shot does convert some physical to cold.



I'm currently using a Lioneye's Glare, for leveling i would recommend a Storm Cloud or Roth Reach. They will work fine up to maps and probably even further.


[requierd] Alpha's Howl will buff the Auras and gives enough spare mana to use our skills or to run dicipline on the MoM EB set up.


Deerstalker provide a 5L which is easy to get, since i'm using a Kaom's Heart it adds the second 5L for either mirror or blink arrow to my setup. (other 5L is the bow)


The most important part about the quiver is to get a +1 Arrow corruption since i'm not using LMP/GMP it adds quite some clear speed! Crit chance and Crit multi aren't that important because of the low crit chance the minions will have, so aim for WED - Life - Res - Attack speed.
Drillneck was the best choice for me since it does scale elementals and physical damage and i'm using the pierce gem in my 5th Link. i did get i just recently it is not requierd to run this build! Any quiver with +1 works to start off.


Life + Mana
Since i got 2x 5L using a 5Linked Bow and Deerstalker i can use a Kaom's Heart, this is not requiered and u can chose what ever chest you like most, like Lightning Coil - Belly of the Beast.


Life + Es + EB + MoM in this case drop clarity for discipline
This version is more expensive(shavronne's revelation) and slightly more effective as far as i can tell by now, u also gain gem slots to use vaal haste, enduring cry or a golem(flesh offering for slower bows). You can also drop Deerstalker for better boots if u got a 5L bow and chest.
But you can also just use Zelot's Oath instead of shav's revelation and sacrifice your life regen or even try to sustain your es by waiting for it to recharg (2sec), which may or may not feel clunky havent tried it yet and probably depends on your maximum es. Also vaal discipline can help there alot.


Rings - Amulet - Belt - Gloves are rares in my setup Looking for Life - res - dex/str if needed! Try to get gloves with an open prefix to craft minion damage on them!

nice build!

It is quite amazing how smooth the spring run seemed.

Clearing speed is more than amazing.
Pleasure to play with some1 who use this build ;-)

Just switched over to the build at 42 and I'm loving it

Just wanted to share my version of the tree, it is life+acro cluster with a lot more dex, so there shouldn't be a problem with the requirements. Great guide, keep up the good work!

EDIT: bear in mind I haven't actually tried it yet, leveling now

I'm running the MoM EB setup so acro would just cut my ES (5,3K life 2,6K ES currently).
I do prefer the higher Life pool for this build since you don't get hit constatly been protected by your minions (NOT saying acro is bad or anything!).
Dex was quite easy to solve with jewelery since we don't need any dmg on them just life and res.

good luck and have fun with the build!

I cant understand, why not using hatred? Other auras give more damage?
Also cant understand, how work EE here

since all our dmg scales with minion dmg wrath and anger does as well. hatred also doesnt gain that much dmg by getting +2 in aplhas as the other 2 do.
since we are using iceshot to curse we trigger EE with cold dmg so they get vulnarable to fire and lightning (only is true using a phys bow or cold dmg on gear (ring/neck/gloves).
since we use generosity on wrath and anger we dont deal fire/light so EE works and the auras are even stronger!
